from my perspective…
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light…”
We are thankful for the good times, but it is in the dark times that we learn to seek the Lord and His mercy, for His Word is like a candle in the winter darkness. May the Lord grant us His Peace.
“…those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” (Isaiah 9:2, ESV)
We are thankful for the light of the world who came, and will come again, to save those who live in the deep darkness of guilt and grief. May the Lord grant them release and Hope.
“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.” (Matthew 2:10, ESV)
We are thankful for the sign in the heavens that He has come near, a Savior is born, God’s anointed lamb who will take away deception and division. May the Lord grant us Joy.
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24, ESV)
We are thankful for every day of this life and look forward to the life to come. Where “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4, ESV) May the Lord grant us knowledge of His Love.
Lastly, we are most grateful for our family, friends, community, and nation. May the light of our love in Christ bring us closer together. May we rest in His presence and live in hope tomorrow. May the Lord grant us Peace.
May you all have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
Your pastor,
Dennis.

I deeply desire to bring Christian comfort and the power of prayer to those who are challenged with sickness or circumstances in life.
Neither the hospitals or care centers are allowing visitation.

Pastor Dennis R.
We have had our share of challenges this year.
If you or someone you know is struggling with fear and despair, I invite you to lay your hands on a copy of Max Lucado's book
Anxious for Nothing:
Finding Calm in a Chaotic World.
We, also, have a helpful copy of "Cancer. Now What?"
available in the church office.
Of course, please contact me if you would like to chat or meet for a cup of coffee.
Pastor Dennis
